Now that Santa has been and gone, I’m in the studio completing composition on The Doctor Blake Mysteries Season 4; it’s a cracker season with lots of mysteries to solve and lots going on in Lucien’s life. Without changing the core ensemble or sound, I’ve tried making the score a little darker, whilst still avoiding any percussive drums in the music (hopefully now a signature with this show)….although I did use a recording of rhythmic tapping on the inside of the piano for one episode!

Jeff Daniel’s feature length doco, Mother With a Gun, is a cracker! So glad to be working with Jeff again and I hope this documentary gets the attention it deserves. I’m creating a very percussive score for this film with lots of messed up electric guitar and new soundscapes.

Finally, I’ve just taken delivery of the picture lock of Life in Space, for giant screen IMAX. It’s all about our quest for signs of life in the universe and contains amazing imagery from space and back here on Earth, especially around the islands of Hawaii.

Better get back to writing!

It’s been a busy period since Christmas; finishing all 8 episodes of The Doctor Blake Mysteries Season 3, which has just started going to air here in Australia and, so far, being the highest rating show on Australian TV on a Friday night. Check out the opening music of ep 1 here;

I’ve enjoyed writing a more atmospheric score for Jennifer Ross’ short film, The Hardest Night;

I’ve also just finished scoring the music for an emotional & beautiful (feature-length) documentary titled, Remembering the Man, which is based on the lives of Tim Conigrave and John Caleo. The score features some wonderful performances by Josephine Vains on cello, Roger Jonsson on violin, Tristan Meredith on guitars, and the vocal talents of counter-tenor Maximilian Riebl.

It’s also turning into a busy year ahead with an animated feature film and a three part documentary series, for PBS America and SBS Australia, to complete before July. Looks like we’ll be doing the orchestral and rhythm section recordings in Dublin at Windmill Lane Studios, which is very exciting (especially if you’re a U2 fan)!

Thanks for all the requests I’ve received via this website and Soundcloud for this music!

The ringtone is now available on iTunes ringtones…. If you have an iPhone you can browse the iTunes store on it and just search for Real Housewives of Melbourne and you’ll get the link.
